[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

I for one chose the journal option, because I like to think while my Warden was relatively well-versed and had an exceptionally high cunning stat, she was about as quick to pick up on romantic advances as Sten. :S

[Milan92]

Should also ask her about her collection of pressed flowers she'd love that, see my Warden listens.

 

And her collection of eyelashes that are kept in jars.

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

I always wondered if she actually did that.

 

If the Warden is gone for good, his/her eyelashes are all that's left of them. Warden can be rebuilt.

Lazerus project here we go!

Now I want a Dragon Age/Girl Genius crossover...

It's been a lean year, gotta cut costs here and there.

[MissDragon]

I don't think that has anything to do with her beign naked in that picture.

Naked? Is Bioware allowing nakedness now...or does that really mean in her underwear?  I have nothing against full nakedness...

Its a portrait of her drawn by the warden from back in DAO.

And she's letting the Inquisitor fool around with that?

 

Say, is that a ring on her hand? The one with a crow perched on it.

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Warden would die before giving away their doodle journal.

[Milan92]

Varric probably stole it.

 

...don't ask me how.

Oh, what  a shame...I was hoping to dance the night away with her in the buff...   

[myahele]

I like that drawing of leliana. But isn't her animal motif supposed to be owls? What's with the crows?

[Milan92]

Well, if the warden does show up... that might be possible

[Basement Cat]

Owls? Where did you get that from?

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Pretty sure this is supposed to be Leliana's motif. 

 

 

I suppose Nightingales don't look quite as sinister as the name sounds. 

[CrimsonN7]

Owls? Where did you get that from?

 

If anything I'd thought it would be her namesake songbird, a nightingale.

 

edit: ninja Snook

 

Oh and the Warden's personal Leliana in the nip pics are off-limits, you gotta challenge him/her to a duel first.

[Basement Cat]

Pretty sure this is supposed to be Leliana's motif.

Only the males sing. The females are mute.

 

You may now be horrified.

[Alan Rickman]

The spoiler they couldn't show in the previous demo is that Leliana has decided to become a nudist. It helps her infiltrate.

 

awww yisssss brace for boobies

This is probably why Leliana was given the Sister Nightingale nom de guerre:

The common nightingale is an important symbol for poets from a variety of ages, and has taken on a number of symbolic connotations. Homer evokes the Nightingale in the Odyssey, suggesting the myth of Philomela and Procne (one of whom, depending on the myth's version, is turned into a nightingale[8] ).[9] This myth is the focus of Sophocles' tragedy, Tereus, of which only fragments remain. Ovid, too, in his Metamorphoses, includes the most popular version of this myth, imitated and altered by later poets, including Chrétien de Troyes, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and George Gascoigne. T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" also evokes the common nightingale's song (and the myth of Philomela and Procne).[10] Because of the violence associated with the myth, the nightingale's song was long interpreted as a lament.

 

The common nightingale has also been used as a symbol of poets or their poetry.[11] Poets chose the nightingale as a symbol because of its creative and seemingly spontaneous song. Aristophanes's Birds and Callimachus both evoke the bird's song as a form of poetry. Virgil compares the mourning of Orpheus to the “lament of the nightingale”.[12]

 

In Sonnet 102 Shakespeare compares his love poetry to the song of the common nightingale (Philomel):

 

"Our love was new, and then but in the spring,
When I was wont to greet it with my lays;
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing,
And stops his pipe in growth of riper days:"

 

During the Romantic era the bird's symbolism changed once more: poets viewed the nightingale not only as a poet in his own right, but as “master of a superior art that could inspire the human poet”.[13] For some romantic poets, the nightingale even began to take on qualities of the muse. Coleridge and Wordsworth saw the nightingale more as an instance of natural poetic creation: the nightingale became a voice of nature. John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale" pictures the nightingale as an idealized poet who has achieved the poetry that Keats longs to write. Invoking a similar conception of the nightingale, Shelley wrote in his “A Defense of Poetry":

 

"A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.”

It is a reference to her bard past, basically.

Neat! Thanks!

I for one chose the journal option, because I like to think while my Warden was relatively well-versed and had an exceptionally high cunning stat, she was about as quick to pick up on romantic advances as Sten. :S

 

That's generally how I always play that scene if i'm on a female character, especially with elves. Something about the experianced human Bard teasing and luring the naive and inexperianced elf seems thematically approptiate. I also think its sweet.

 

 

I don't see how they could really do a reuinion with the Warden outside of them being clad in full armor, in the suns glare (and thus just a siluette), or having Leliana see them off screen and walking out of shot (perhaps with the partys eyes slowly widening, maybe a jaw dropping, at how the unseen reuinion plays out.)

[CrimsonN7]

From the demo.

She is... naked except for a hood while holding a crow.

 

Perhaps it is not a crow but a raven, perhaps that is Morrigan, mind blown!

[Basement Cat]

Perhaps it is not a crow but a raven, perhaps that is Morrigan, mind blown!

Yeah, somebody thought that too. Well, if Morrigan is our 'scout', it makes sense that she would work with Leliana. I thought it symbolised the 'assassin' aspect of her job. Could also be a reference to the Antivan crows. Maybe she recruited some for the Inquisition?

It's all possibru until we get confirmation. Let the crazy theories begin!
